| An interesting question.
I feel that it is possible to shoot high scores without a clicker. The problem would be, I suspect, getting that good by just shooting.
In one way you can say the clicker tells you when you have drawn the bow the same amount as last time; every time. You could go one step further and say it takes away the need to decide when to release.
Getting a consistent draw length can be learnt without a clicker, though it may be just a little less accurate.
Having to decide when to release can upset things so the clicker can remove that upset; even if it adds another.
In learning to use the clicker, if done well, the archer is informed of occasions when the alignment etc, is becoming wayward. Without the clicker, the archer may just carry on, unaware of the variations in posture/ alignment.
In other words, as you learn to use the clicker, you should be learning to keep alignment and posture in place.It does, in a way,give feedback like a coach could, but on every shot.
In short, I think the high scores would be possible, but the learning process involved would be slower and require a huge amount of extra effort and discipline.  |
